Speak Your Truth

Express Yourself with Courage, Clarity and Care

Are you struggling to express what truly matters to you without fear of judgment or conflict?
… Avoiding honest conversations to keep the peace, only to feel resentful and disconnected?
… Bothered by conversations or meetings that don’t seem to be pleasing anybody, or go around in circles without reaching understanding or resolution?
… Wishing for deeper, more authentic connections, but unsure how to navigate vulnerability?

Have you ever wished you could communicate your feelings, needs, requests and limits with confidence and kindness?
.. and express yourself in ways that strengthens relationships instead of breaking them?

Vulnerability: The Key to Connection

Opening your heart and sharing what’s real—without knowing how it will be received—can be both terrifying and transformative. Vulnerability is the bridge to deeper connection and the courage to live authentically. Yet many of us hide behind shields of perfection, fear or judgment; afraid of how others might respond.

In this training, we’ll explore how to navigate vulnerability and honest communication using the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). You’ll learn to express yourself in a way that honours your inner truth while cultivating connection, respect and understanding.

We Explore:

• Intentional communication: How to align your words with your true intentions.
• The paradox of vulnerability: Why we crave others’ openness but resist revealing our own, and how to bridge this gap.
• The power of authenticity: How showing up authentically creates space for growth and connection. Learn to shift from fear to courage when expressing yourself.
• Foundations of honest expression: Skills in expressing each of the four components of NVC—observation, feeling, need and request
• Balancing transparency and care: Ways to honour your truth while cultivating trust and safety
• Awareness of protective mechanisms: How perfectionism, numbing or avoidance might be shielding you from deeper connection—and how to gently overcome these patterns.
• Key distinctions: How to distinguish between judgment-based “honesty” and authentic self-expression grounded in feelings and needs.

You Can Gain:

• Connection through honesty: Experience how sharing your inner world brings trust and deepens relationships.
• Key relational skills: Tools from NVC to express yourself with confidence and compassion.
• Confidence: The ability to approach difficult conversations with clarity and intention.
• Transformed conflict: Tools for speaking your truth without blame or judgment, so you don’t escalate conversations into conflict.
• Self-awareness: Notice and understand your vulnerability as it arises.
• Freedom: Release the grip of judgments, assumptions and fears that block your authentic voice.

This is a safe, supportive space to practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. Together, we’ll explore how honesty and vulnerability can become pathways to connection, growth and freedom.
